1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio,

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Craig Webb stays with us. The dreams behind the music

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: is the book and before the break, Craig we were

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: talking about where where these songs come from. When Paul

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: McCartney talks about the song, you know, he dreams about

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: a song, the song writes itself. He likens himself to

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: an antenna. We'll just receives receiving the song talks more

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, well that could be true of all dreams.

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: We're not quite sure what the source is. I mean,

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: we have ideas. Certainly there's some manifestation of the activity

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: in the brain. You know, it's called paradoxical sleep. So

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: the dreaming sleep, paradoxical sleep is when we're doing kind

13
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: of let's say, daily activities where it's much more like

14
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: our daytime, often with visuals, sometimes I guess with the music.

15
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: So during this phase there must be something happening in

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: the brain. But there's the source of the info can

17
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: definitely come from, would say the mind or perhaps beyond.

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: Exactly how to track it or prove any of those

19
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: it's a little bit tougher, but I can say some

20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: interesting research shows that there's specialized neural networks in the

21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: brain which are distinct from other functions. That's say that

22
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, even speech and non musical sounds are processed

23
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: by different parts of the brains. Even although both sides

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: of the brain process sound and music, there seems to

25
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: be a bit of a distinction between perception of speech

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: and music and sort of like singing versus even singing

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: versus talking, and even the it extends to the ears.

28
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: To the right ears a little bit better at perceiving

29
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: verbal sounds, the left ear a little better at nonverbal sounds.

30
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: There could be some corolleries in the brain. As for

31
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: the source of the inspiration, it seems sort of be

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: like who wants it the most kind of taps into

33
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: the internet and gets it. I have seen and in

34
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: my book there's quite a number of documented songs that

35
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: are this is sort of in parenthesis, gifted by non

36
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: physical beings. In other words, Jimi Hendrix came and inspired

37
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: a number of waking artists, but in their dreams, and

38
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: that a few of the other classical artists, et cetera,

39
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: had mentors, teachers, family members were taken them Sarah for

40
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: those who know them are Sarah, Yeah, Sarah and Tagan.

41
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: I found them on which order they say their name is,

42
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: but their grandmother came and some other inspirations Elsie on

43
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: the Big Montreal artists who work with Sark to Slay

44
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: and others have let's say relatives, maybe beings that are

45
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: not physical anymore come and help them with the music.

46
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: So there's a few ideas and maybe it'd be interesting

47
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: to get the listeners take on where it comes from.

48
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: What do you what would you say, Richard? Oh? Wow?

49
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think Paul McCartney is writing.

50
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: I think it comes from Paul McCartney. When when we're

51
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: talking about him, um, I think he's being maybe very

52
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: very generous and humble when he talks about the songs

53
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: writing themselves. But I think they come from deep inside him. Yea.

54
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: And people are subconscious or something like that. There's an

55
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: interesting principle it says it's probably not you know, certainly

56
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: not our fully conscious stelf. For Lucid, maybe it's closer.

57
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: But there's a number of artists, not just musicians, who's say, wow,

58
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: I didn't write this. I don't even know how I

59
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: got it or where it came from and in the

60
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: dream they believe it was somebody else's hit, like Roy Orbison.

61
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: He dreams this song, oh my gosh, that's an amazing

62
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: new Elvis hit, and then he woke up saying, in Dreams,

63
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: by the way Orbison song, that's that's not an Elvis hit.

64
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: I don't think there is any hit in Dreams. And

65
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: he started putting together a melody, and so we can

66
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: say in Dreams was inspired by dreams and perhaps a

67
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: little bit by Elvis, but he thought it was Elvis'

68
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: is in the Dream and that's happened. Even McCartney actually

69
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: thought one of the songs came from the Stones, but

70
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: then when he woke up, a wait a minute, that's

71
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: not the son. James Cameron had the same idea for

72
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: his movies. He goes out, these aren't mine. Let do

73
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: these come from? Richard back with his book Illusions or

74
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: Excuse Me? Jonathan Siegel, he had a big series of

75
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: dreams that he said, I don't know, it didn't come

76
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: from me. I'm not sure where they came from. It's

77
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: not even mine. So there's an interesting sort of identity

78
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: or maybe ownership question. My guess is it's a little

79
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: bit deeper part of the subconscious, maybe the collective unconscious,

80
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: so not necessarily the conscious mind. We've talked before fairly recently,

81
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: and I remember vaguely a story involving a precognition dream

82
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: that involves a shipwreck. Oh yeah, that's one of my

83
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: fascinating dreams. Now, the song is probably not going to

84
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: be number one hit. I was one of the charts there,

85
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: but stories the number one hit like I put it

86
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: near the start of the book just because it has

87
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: so many interesting aspects. It's Canadian folk composer CBC radio

88
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: host also Clary Croft. A little salutation out to clary

89
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: who who told me this very interesting story and sings

90
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: and talks about it when he when he does presentations.

91
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: But the story is about the Anti m Pride. It's

92
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: actually a schooner background in eighteen eighty nine in Halifax,

93
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: Nova Scotia, and it was going to go sail on

94
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: its maiden voyage about I guess five years later after

95
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: it was built and to my boo, Nova Scotia. So

96
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: this is all document in track. So it's a true

97
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: thing that actually physically happened, and you know, you can

98
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: actually pull up stories about it in papers and stuff.

99
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: The interesting part that's not so documented is that you know,

100
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: they were all loaded up with lots of expensive fish

101
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: and things that would go bad, and I guess maybe

102
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: some lumber and such, but they kind of had to

103
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: get it in a certain pretty tight timeline, except that

104
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: the first mates why awoke that morning and lots of tears,

105
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: really upset because she's had a haunting vision of the

106
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: ship with gray hull and all sails set but they

107
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: were black and she sort of saw the whole I

108
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: guess a shipwreck. So she said to her husband, you're

109
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: not going. It probably took a little discussion, you know.

110
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: It's it's one thing to sort of just follow a dream,

111
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: but it's another one. You're maybe your job and somebody

112
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: else's whole career depends on the door quite as us.

113
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: And eventually, a long story short, I went to the

114
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: captain Pride, interesting name, but that's the actual name of

115
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: the captain, and he said, I can't go with him,

116
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: so silly a and maybe lose my marriage. But you

117
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't go either, because my wife had this dream

118
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: and she saw this big storm and it might be

119
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: a shipwreck. Anyways, he was committed with the sale, and

120
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: unfortunately he took his son as the first mate. And

121
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: so sad story that did come true was the whole

122
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: ship was shipwrecked, pretty much as as the wife saw

123
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: a life saving dream. I guess the first mate, and

124
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: unfortunately not to the son. But another interesting aspect is

125
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: Larry said, Annie m Pride, where have I heard that before?

126
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: You know the name of the ship, and he said,

127
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: wait a minute. He went back to his childhood wall

128
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: from his I guess the house where he grew up,

129
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: and his parents were still there, and he saw this

130
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: half model of a ship, which I understand. I didn't

131
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: know this, but when they make a ship, they actually

132
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: make a small version that's half the ship, to see

133
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: if all the parts work. And I guess it fits

134
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: well and balances. It's such a So all his childhood

135
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: he'd had the half model of the Annie M Pride,

136
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: the actual original one, on his wall, and he asked

137
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: his mother where do we get this? And she goes, oh,

138
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: that's because your maternal relative is Annie m Pride and

139
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: her husband named Sadly, he died in a shipwreck and

140
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: his son died, and he was like, oh my god,

141
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: that's our maternal relative. Oh my god, I'm interesting a

142
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: premonition well followed by at least one person. Um if

143
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: I mean, can people dream about specific things without necessarily

144
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: being conscious? Interesting? Yeah, like intentional dreams maybe yeah, or

145
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: like falling asleep. Sometimes it's called incubation. There's a whole

146
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,119
Speaker 1: bunch of different ideas of sort of names for people

147
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: use it. But the experience is more or less starting

148
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: with in my looser definition, starting to become lucid, in

149
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: other words, guiding the dream content a little bit. In fact,

150
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: I bet you most of the lusers have done it.

151
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: They just didn't necessarily name it. You know, if you certainly,

152
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: if you go to sleep with a question mine, you know,

153
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: I'll sleep on it. That kind of thing, you may

154
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: well dream on it, like many of the inventions and

155
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: songs and things. But sometimes if you're just watching a

156
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: movie or reading a book, or you're wondering or worrying

157
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: about something, that momentum of thought and maybe feeling will

158
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: carry into the dreams. So it's a little bit better

159
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: when you're conscious or lucid, or choose I guess such

160
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: a lucidity is. In other words, let's make sure that

161
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: you choose wisely what you're thinking about it before sleep,

162
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: and if you have a question and intention, I hope

163
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: a dream you know, hey, teach me skiing skills like

164
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: the German Olympic ski team they learn their ski skills

165
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: and their dreams or whatever. So it's possible. And then

166
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: I guess when it becomes a little bit more lucid,

167
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: more conscious, you start to realize during the dream you

168
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: can guide it a little bit. And then the interesting

169
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: part is harvesting. Let's make sure we get the content

170
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: but are able to bring it back and act on it.

171
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: So I usually encourage my students because I teleclasses online.

172
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: I say, not just what does the dream mean? It's

173
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: a good question. You can understand it intellectually interpret a bit,

174
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: but what does it want? Like it really does want something,

175
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: There might be an action in the world. Let's say

176
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: McCartney never acted on the musical inspiration for Yesterday. And

177
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: also let it be I know, a huge beetle hit, right,

178
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have these amazing songs in their world. So

179
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: make sure to kind of consider and maybe even ask

180
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: yourself what does the dream wants? And just that question,

181
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: they'll trigger some thoughts, maybe some actions or impulses. To

182
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: bring it to our public world as a gift from

183
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: your your personal you know, inner subconscious, I hope. So

184
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: I'd like to see more dreams come true out him.

185
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: What does the dream want? So it's we're at or

186
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: the dream is asking as something, or are deep subconscious

187
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: is asking us something? So, um, I know this is

188
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: a fairly common theme with dreams. And I used to

189
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: have this dream, a recurring dream a lot. Not not anymore,

190
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: but losing my teeth, I would start spitting out like

191
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: I was spitting out chicklets, and I had that quite frequently.

192
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: So is what is the dream want when I'm spitting

193
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: out chicklets my teeth? Well, before I go into that one,

194
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: because these things get personal pretty fast, I should ask

195
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: do you have that recurring dream anymore? No? No, um,

196
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: I would say, I haven't had it probably in about

197
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen years. But I used to have it

198
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah. Okay, good, so we can get a

199
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: little more personal. By the way, this is actually according

200
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: to a recent research study of looking up Google searches,

201
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: it's the most common dream in many countries. Wow, I've

202
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: actually seen different statistics, but I guess for Google searches

203
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: it's easy to type teeth falling out dream, but it is.

204
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: It actually is multifaceted. So the big universal archetypal dreams

205
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: are usually across cultures, so it's not just USA or Canada.

206
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: It's actually many cultures worldwide. It's not the biggest one

207
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: in all the cultures like in South America. I think

208
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: it's snakes, you know, which probably makes sense, I guess

209
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: from the corporation or her worry point of view. But

210
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: the teeth falling out dream has a few levels. And

211
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: I laughed a little bit with sort of a friendly

212
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: good nature because I've had it too. It can have

213
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: the level of, let's say, sort of publicly spewing out

214
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: different words or maybe not always personally happy with or

215
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: they just come out like I guess are I'm thinking

216
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: halle Berry has the teeth falling out dream. So maybe

217
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: some of the things she said, or she's sort of

218
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: worried about complex shouldn't losing our teeth or you know,

219
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: as an actor, that's very important our look as a

220
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: radio announcer, Yeah, the things that come out of our mouse.

221
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: Who want to make sure that there's no biting words

222
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: in there, and we're getting making sure that they sort

223
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: of don't bite into people's minds too deeply unless we

224
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: choose it. I guess if we're making a new story,

225
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: and then there seems to be a pretty interesting sort

226
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: of sigh or psychic or maybe premonition level. This isn't

227
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: actually a number of cultures that I've interviewed a number

228
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: of people around the world, and forget all the countries

229
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: Bahamas as one, Italy, a number of places like five

230
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: or six, I can't name them all right now, but

231
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: in the culture that it says, oh, if you dream

232
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: about losing your teeth, and I means somebody close to

233
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: you is going to die. But first I guess as

234
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: a scientist, as those that are like, oh, you know, skeptic,

235
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: But actually, after hearing it quite a bit and seeing

236
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: actual dreamers I work with having clear premonitions of someone

237
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: close to them passing, and it usually seems to be

238
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: when there's actual blood in the dream, so a slight

239
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: variation when there's physical blood chicklists or chewing glass and

240
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: people have glass. So the other level is another level

241
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: is sort of grinding our teeth at night, which is

242
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: a little more obvious. I guess, you know, teeth falling

243
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: out or crumbling. So we might be grinding our teeth

244
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: and if we're not careful about it, or go to

245
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: the dentist and do something about it, maybe get a

246
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: bite place or something. They might have actual future permonition

247
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: where we have like teeth bits or you'll lose teeth.

248
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: So the big lesson overall through all the different categories

249
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: is learning having presents in peace with letting go because

250
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: even in life, you know, we do lose our teeth

251
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: as a child, growing up, maybe later our wisdom teeth

252
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: and as a multi person, so letting go of I

253
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: guess the permanence challenge of life and just allowing the

254
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: body to do its transitions at times sounds easy to

255
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: say letting go, but I can't say I've mastered that

256
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: life lesson. No, that might be the toughest one. You

257
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: mentioned letting go. Are there some practical ways of dreams

258
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: can help the living in the ying around around that

259
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: transition around death? Yeah? Sure, deaths the big the end

260
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: of our big dream that we you know occurs every

261
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: day that we call life. I did a whole sort

262
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,599
Speaker 1: of audio CD which was the presentation I gave with

263
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: the little pali of care contents all about that. So

264
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: there's a number of ways that they can really help.

265
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: I guess one simple way that's maybe not obvious, but

266
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: it's been hinted out a little bit here with the

267
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: sailor dream. The first name is precognitive dreams can actually

268
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: help prevent death. So like the sailor didn't die, you know,

269
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: or another researcher here actually one of the discoverers of

270
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: a ram of sleep, of appatite movement sleep, which which

271
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: tribute lots of research and the egs and everything of

272
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: the sleep reportings, William Dement later had I guess, not

273
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: dream about research, but later had a dream where a

274
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: doctor was showing him an X ray of his lungs

275
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: up on one of these I guess extreme viewing the screens,

276
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: whatever they are, and he had really thinking feeling and

277
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: the doctor's organosis was unfortunately, you know, you have lung

278
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: cancer and you're not going to get to see your

279
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: children go up and just going to be a horrible,

280
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: thinkful death. And you know, he woke up on oh

281
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: my god, thank goodness, it was just a dream, but

282
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: that he had the wisdom to sort of follow what

283
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: I encouraged the listeners and my students say, what does

284
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: the dream want not to So that's a bad dream

285
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: or just a nightmare? Well, yeah, nightmare, but not just one.

286
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: He stopped smoking right away because it was a strong smoker,

287
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: and he did live and leave leave a pretty long

288
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: healthy life up until the end of his days, which

289
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: wasn't by lung cancer stuff. We can't say that it

290
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: would have come true, but the best predictions it was

291
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: a negative type are the ones that don't come true.

292
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: So possibly it was a life saving So I can

293
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: be one aspect, maybe helping people impalliative care at least

294
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: I've seen that somebody who actually there was a patient

295
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: in coma for many, many months, and I guess one

296
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: of the characters, and he said, okay, maybe I can

297
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: journey in kind of let's say an intentional dream, kind

298
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: of a sitting of the daytime. Lucia dreams sham on

299
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: a journey, and she journeyed in sort of quote unquote

300
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: met the being who was lying there in coma and

301
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: said hey, And all of a sudden, the woman and

302
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: coma grabbed hers, like where did everybody go? Why aren't

303
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: they coming anymore to visit? And the caregiver says, oh,

304
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: actually been a few months, so you know, they did

305
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: come and she said, well, okay, and the caregiver in

306
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: the dream still said, is there anybody you'd like to

307
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: see and then maybe you can move on? Or is

308
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,440
